With the steady abolition of regulations on commodity markets during the mid-
|
||
1990s, food staples such as wheat, cocoa, sugar, meat and coffee are all now

|
||
investment into traditional agriculture, or has it led to unsustainable food
|
||
price spikes which have little or no bearing on the real cost of food?
